2.- PROGRAMMING THE ALARM
To program the instrument to take measurements and/or print-outs at a specific
time, you must define the time and date the measurements are to be taken (Start
acquisition time). If this field is not defined the acquisition of measurements will have
to be activated manually (see section '4.9.4.4.3 Taking Measurements'). When
programming the alarm be sure to have checked that the date and time have been
correctly defined beforehand (Clock function, paragraph 4.9.4.5) and to have selected
previously one measurement to be taken at minimum (see section '4.9.4.4.2 Selecting
the Measurement to be Taken').
To define the starting time of measurement acquisition repeatedly press key
[31] until the Start acquisition time field blinks, then press the rotary selector [4].
This will lead to a screen like the one shown below:
Figure 32.- Defining the starting time of measurement acquisition.
The first line of this screen tells you if the alarm function is on (ALARM On) or
not (ALARM Off), followed by the date and time the alarm has been set for, and the last
line shows the current time and date.
Repeatedly pressing key [31] cyclically activates the different fields in the
following order: Hour, Minute, Second, Day and Month. To alter any of these simply
activate it, turn the rotary selector [4] and press key [31] again. Once you have
updated all the alarm fields, press the rotary selector [4] to validate them and exit the
screen.
If before activating the alarm (ALARM On) no measurement matrix cell has yet
been activated (see section '4.9.4.4.2 Selecting the Measurements to be Taken'), the
bottom of the screen will show the error message "NOT CELLS SEL." (No cells have
been selected) followed by "DL STOPPED" (Datalogger deactivated).
